This note presents a summary of interim outcomes and highlights key learning points from a selection of projects that benefited from the DfT funding in Round 1 of the Road Safety Partnership Grant (RSPG) scheme.
The RSPG was launched in October 2006, providing funding to local highway authorities in England via an annual bidding process as a means to promote a collaborative and innovative approach to all aspects of delivering enhanced road safety.
In particular, the RSPG aimed to encourage partnerships between traditional local authority road safety professionals and other internal partners, including the education sector and youth service, other public sector organisations, including the health sector, the fire service and the police, and the voluntary sector.
A total of 27 schemes in 25 local authorities were approved for delivering projects between 2007 and 2009, and they received a total of £4.6 million for RSPG Round 1.
